Synthèse factuelle
In Cyprus, electronically issued commercial certificates and certified copies from official registries, including those from Limassol, contain a unique authenticity code. This code enables verification of the document's validity through an online portal managed by the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver. Verification is available for a period of 90 days starting from the certificate's issuance date. To perform verification, users must enter the authenticity code on the official website, which confirms the document's legitimacy and issuance details. This process supports digital business operations by providing a reliable method to authenticate electronic certificates without physical inspection. The service is free of charge and accessible 24/7, ensuring timely and efficient validation for commercial transactions.
